Ultra-Rare Sargent No. 10 Shaw's Patent Heavy Smooth Plane This line of Sargent planes utilized James Shaw's July 3, 1906 patent for an adjustable frog that didn't require the blade to be removed. This patent is has essentially the same function as the Bedrock design Stanley. These Shaw patent planes are rare to begin with. The No. 10 is one of the rarest. The 10 has a 10in long body and 2 3/8in wide blade, roughly the equivalent to the Stanley 604 1/2. This plane is all original with the proper blade, VBM lever cap, and frog. The plane is in good condition overall. There is some minor japanning loss- perhaps 90% remains. There are some minor dings and scratches in the body and the very front of the left side has a small chip missing right at the toe. The knob and tote are solid with only minor checks in the knob. This plane is a "type 4", made between 1911-1917, according to the type study in Heckel's guide to Sargent planes. It's an exceptionally rare plane in a desirable size. It would make an excellent addition to a Sargent or patented plane collection. $210

Huge Quirk Ogee and Bevel Molding Plane by J&L Denison. This plane cuts a large 2in wide by 7/8in. deep profile. This profile was commonly used for casing moldings and bears a faint resemblance to the generic, nearly flat casings found today in the box stores. The plane was made by John and Lester Denison in Saybrook, CT between 1832-40. The plane is in good condition overall. There are tight checks at the heel and toe. The body is clean with very few scratches or dings. The blade is very clean with no pitting. It's fairly sharp and matches the profile exactly. The boxing has a crack about 3 inches from the heel. The two pieces have separated a bit and are out of alignment by a few thousandths. It's a tiny defect and will take almost no time to fix, but it should be noted if you want to put the plane to use. It would also make a great showpiece since the profile allows it to sit upright on its own. An interesting, usable, early plane. $70
